The Turbulent History of Blover: PvZ's Unluckiest Plant

[@VictorLopez-er6mv]

It’s ironic how Blover became extremely unlucky. Considering the fact that (4 leaf) clovers are considered lucky.

[@jeremypanjaitan4039]

sucks that blover has 3 leafs only

[@HaKilly]

Look like he wasn't lucky in first place, due having 3 leafs

I actually abuse the Reinforce mint in arena a lot by using plant food on the mint. Since it's a board clear, it is way more useful to invest plant food into that

13:18 Tbh i disgree with this statement because you already needed a plant food to use blover and spring bean to wipe the whole board. And you can use one plant food to instantly recharge Reinforce-Mint, and you can time it way easier in my opinion. So if anything, it's better.

[@lizzybach4254]

Fr, just use blover, reinforcement, power lily (+ imitater if possible), and you can solo most adventure levels with just that.

[@coco__nade]

The main issue now is that the mint is a premium plant, locking the strat behind a pay/grind wall

You made a wrong point about the moving from spring bean to reinforcement. Due the trophy that gives instant rechange with a plant food the condition for using Spring bean plant food + blover didn't change. Instead of plant fooding spring bean use the plant food to instantly get reinforcement back, the conditions for using this combo is the same. 2 seed packets for blover and reinforcemint, and a plant food or 2 seed packets for blover and spring bean and a plant food. The only change is the 50 sun spring bean costs, the timing, and you get 1 free no cool down use.

[@lizzybach4254]

Another change is that reinforcement is much harder to get than spring bean, but it's a non-issue.

1:34 nah. Cactus is bad, it's just a more expensive pee shooter, that can bring down a flying zombie. Blower is just much better at doing balloon job, just because how fast it recharges and simply just kills every balloon zombie, and not just pops the balloons. And on pool levels I would rather say against balloon zombies bring cat tail, now that is a good plant. 1 is enough to pop every balloon, good against multiple zombies and can protect EVERY lane, that is where you don't need blower.

[@bloodygoodlad9297]

I dont understand calling blover unlucky. They were very lucky their roll was expanded with every game to suit the games design. In two, they are way better than one, only actually buffed as the game went on as more enemies called for it. and they're happened to be a design mistake that slipped by the devs until they noticed it too late and made a fix while adding a plant that was better than the one they fixed. In pvz 3, there's no flying zombies or fog, but it still managed to get in.

[@thdiam11]

If blover not only blowed away balloon zombies, but also knocked back normal ones, he’d be much more usable

[@shinhikaru]

In a way, Reinforcemint is actually an indirect buff to Blover. You can still use Plant Food to remove Reinforcemint's cooldown, and with Reinforcemint being free, now you can do this combo with only 50 sun from 100 sun. So Blover's dominance is still present. However the devs know this, so they often ban Blover in Arena. Although unlocking Reinforcemint is quiet hard so there's that. I remember Big Wave Beach was one of the hardest things ever in old PvZ2 and that Blover and Spring-bean combo carry me HARD and was the only world I abuse this combo (because BWB is not fun).

What I like about PvZ:EE (or PvZ:JTTW) is that it actually gave Blover an extra usage, which is to blow cobwebs. Although this barely makes her any more useful, but it's a cool thought that they reconsidered plants with small usages and gave them an extra usage.

Technically since you need plant food for the combo you can basically get it more out of the enforcement by refreshing it and why I say more is cause it when it recharges naturally you can still place and use the combo without plant food so I'd say it's even better

[@GamesbiteRtDL]

Blover + Primal Pea Combo led me to Level 200+ in the Far Future Endless Challenge. That's because, when you use Blover while any Zombie gets Knockback, it instantly kills them, just like Blover Vs. Any Flying Zombie.

[@sonicmeerkat]

cactus more reliable than blover? cactus costs more for a single lane covered while blover is a screen nuke. for the later levels you would get balloons spawn on each lane at least once. for the cost of 5 cacti you could get 6 blovers and you can often wait to blow them back to take out 2 waves of balloon zombies at once. and taking into account cacti acts as a basic pea shooter at the point in the game where you have both cost effective night plants and high damage attackers it takes up valuble space blover does not.

I feel like it should be noted that Reinforcemint is just as, if not more OP than the Spring Bean combo was, due to the fact that you can instantly recharge seed packets with plant food. In terms of cost, the combo actually saves 50 sun compared to the Spring Bean variant, with the added bonus that you can use it without the plant food if you manage to wait out Reinforcemint's timer, which isn't too hard with plants like Infi-nut. IMO, PvZ2 Blover has had a generation run, and is easily my favorite plant in the game.
